"We got over 100 because we played an extra game," Brey said on ESPN after the game. "We were having fun. It was awesome."

Indeed. Both teams essentially played two games. The first half of regulation was merely an appetizer for the the five-overtime main course. Here's a breakdown of all the action:

Star of the game: Garrick Sherman. The junior center, who transferred from Michigan State, didn't see the floor until ND star Jack Cooley and Tom Knight fouled out and went on to score 17 points on 7-for-10 shooting in the five overtimes. "I'm still trying to digest it," he said after the game. "I had to step up for my team."

Stunning end of regulation: It didn't look as if the Cardinals were going to need overtime when Louisville's Chane Behanan made a free throw with 51 seconds left in regulation to make it 56-48. But Jerian Grant led the Irish on a 12-4 comeback, hitting three consecutive 3-pointers and then tying it on a three-point play with 16 seconds left. The Cardinals had a chance to win, but they never got a shot off as Siva lost control of the ball under the basket in the closing seconds.

First overtime: Both teams missed chances to win in this extra period. Behanan blocked a shot inside by Notre Dame's Eric Atkins with 15 seconds left before Louisville's Russ Smith missed from 3-point range in the closing seconds for the Cardinals. Grant, who led the Irish with 19 points, fouled out with 1:57 left in this overtime.

Second overtime: With 16 seconds left in the second overtime, Cameron Biedscheid hit a 3-pointer to force another period.

Third overtime: Chane Behanan scored inside with 16 seconds to go to tie it at 83.

Fourth overtime: Atkins and Zach Auguste missed shots for the Irish, but Sherman tipped in the rebound to tie the score at 93 with 5 seconds left. Smith had a last-second shot for the Cardinals but missed.

Fifth overtime: Cameron Biedscheid scored on a layup with 1:19 left, and Atkins and Pat Connaugton added free throws in the final 19 seconds. Smith had a chance to tie it, but his 3-point attempt missed before Notre Dame students flooded the court to celebrate.
